Welcome

E-ACT Academies

The NASUWT with the other school workforce trade unions have negotiated a trade union recognition agreement with E-ACT for consultation and collective bargaining purposes. This provides the necessary structures for the NASUWT to meet with EACT at a national level and on a regular basis in the E-ACT Academies National Joint Council (NJC).

The NJC is where the trade unions meet with E-ACT to negotiate on pay, conditions of service issues and on policies and procedures for teachers and other E-ACT staff.

The NASUWT has agreed the following HR policies and procedures with E-ACT Academies and the other recognised trade unions:

E-ACT Absence Management Policy and Procedure;

E-ACT Disciplinary Policy Procedure;

E-ACT Grievance Policy and Procedure.

Copies of the documents listed above are available on the right/below.

The above policies and procedures have been agreed by the NASUWT on the condition that they apply to E-ACT staff that have accepted and signed the E-ACT contract.

If you transferred your employment to E-ACT from a predecessor school that was subsequently replaced by an E-ACT academy, the policies and procedures that were in operation at your previous school will apply where there is a contractual entitlement for this to happen.

Teachers' Pay in E-ACT Academies

The NASUWT seeks to ensure that members in academy schools have, at least, the equivalent pay award to teachers in other maintained schools. Teachers working in an E-ACT academy should continue to receive the same pay increase and benefits as teachers in the maintained sector.
